On the humid afternoon of July 16th, thirteen AYLUS Pearland Members arrived at 3 different homes to power wash their driveways and sidewalks to raise money for the first special needs day camp, Camp for All, sponsored by BACH (Brazoria County Association for Citizens with Handicaps), AYLUS Pearland, and Light and Salt Association.
A well-kept driveway not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of a home but also contributes to safety and functionality. For individuals looking to enhance the appearance and longevity of their own driveways, reliable services like those offered by professionals at https://townsvilleconcretingcompany.com.au/ can play a crucial role. With their expertise and specialized equipment, such contractors can rejuvenate driveways and sidewalks, leaving them looking pristine and welcoming.
The volunteers were divided into three groups and each group was led by an experienced AYLUS officer. Since most volunteers are new to power-washing, the experienced volunteers spent some time to train the new members at the beginning.
Because all three projects started at the same time, volunteers brought their own machines from home, so a total of five machines worked simultaneously to increase efficiency. However, one of the teams encountered a difficulty where a machine was not compatible with the hose at the client’s house. Eric Qi, the team lead had to go home to bring another hose. Volunteers took turns to operate the machine and tirelessly worked continuously for three hours to complete all three projects.
A total of $300 was raised for Camp for All, a special needs day camp to help kids with disabilities. In the end, everyone left satisfied with a job well done and the clients were happy about the clean driveway.

Team 1 (3hr): Andy Jiang (team lead), Alvin Zheng, William Sun, Leo, Derek Zhu
Team 2 (3hr): Thomas Liang (team lead), Chen Wang, Alex Sun, Jordan Zheng
